“Can I see your license please?” – South Carolina (white) state trooper Sean M. Groubert after stopping Levar Jones (black), right before shooting Jones when he reached into his car to get it; Groubert continued shooting even after Jones stumbled out of the car with his hands up and then fell to the ground

Why isn’t anyone in the media complaining

About the real cause of the South Carolina police shooting: bad training.

No, not Officer Groubert, of course.

All he did was exercise the usual level of violent force.

It was the Levar Jones who wasn’t properly trained

About what to do whenever he’s detained.

What was Jones’s near fatal mistake?

He didn’t the necessary precautions as a Black Man take!

Doesn’t he realize that a cop can shoot a Black Man at will,

And if you make any sudden moves, he will?

Doesn’t Jones know that when a Black Man is told to produce his license and registration,

He must still announce any movement in advance, and then move with extreme deliberation.

Jones made the mistake of assuming that the cop wouldn’t shoot him without reason.
